Do you suffer from WiiRage?

seems people are getting so into playing these games, the remote slips from sweaty hand and breaks windows, TV, possibly other family members.

i think its funny that people get so into these games that they are actually sweating and swing their arm hard enough for it to slip out.

ive never played the Wii but im sure if i did, i could hold on to the Remote. maybe someone will invent a grip or something and make a shit load of money.

Your thoughts?

I think it's awesome. They need to add a bit more security straps or stronger ones, but that's awesome.

I want the Wii...Get exercise while playing a video game. That's great. Maybe if they come out with some good games, kids will get active again.

They definitely need to get stronger straps though if you're going to make it have that much variability usable power/strength range.

I just saw my first Wii commercial (yeah I'm a bit slow and not much of a gamer) but it made me really really want one now! Who got $5 on my game system?
Oh yeah, I may need the grip things too

its good for the kids to actually be getting sweaty from video games, lord knows they arent getting exercise anywhere else.

AustinForester · 11-30-06, 11:57 AM

i didnt even think about that, kudos Nintendo for attempting to get kids back in shape while playing video games, the sad thing is after they play, they prolly go straight to McDonalds

kids and adults.... i let my homies play the boxing game that it came with the wii and they work up a sweat. They are not obese by any means. They just really get into it... so into it where they start hitting my controllers on other shit.... thats when i have to calm them down... "easy there killa"

Wii's controller sucks.

Double Glow · 11-30-06, 11:10 PM

saw my friend fling the controller into the wall, left a little dent. other than that, no wiirage for me.

Well seeing as how about 60% (or some obscene number like that) of elementary school-aged kids are classified as being "dangerously overweight"...I think this is the first step to rectifying all those terrible sins we committed against said growing kids during the Fast Food Revolution

bboarder711 · 12-01-06, 02:35 AM

HAHA i think the idea of the controler is a good one
but maybe some refinement is in store

makes me wish i was a kid now, back when i was a kid i got treased because i was "the fat kid"

Just got done playing Wii Tenis and Wii bowling. Gotta go to bed now. LOL

I kept the controller in my hand.

When my brother was telling me that people were throwing the controller into TV screens, I thought of a great marketing oportunity for Nintendo:

They need to create a TV with a thicker screen and call it the WiiV. It could have other goodies as well, such as wireless communication with the Wii, DVD player and countless other options. They could also intergrate the Wii sensor bar into the WiiV.

Well, now my idea is out there for everyone. I'm sure someone will steal it.
